There is no such thing as a "human soul"

[ponder]

Quick question to the believers of a soul:
Does the Soul sleep when the body sleeps?

No it dreams.

[Elimentals]

No it dreams.

That's only during some states like REM sleep (Not needed to dream but one of the times when it does happen)

The problem with the soul & body argument comes with anesthetics, if your soul truly existed separate from the body you would be able to experience something during operations, which is not the case. I have been for about 9 eye operations in my life and one lasted well over 7 hours. I can tell you that during that time "I" did not exist. If there was such a thing as a soul that lived on beyond your death surely it would not "sleep" at the same time as when your body does?

This doesn't really pose a problem for Arthurian lore, where it would seem that vitality is an effect of a soul and is therefore indistinguishable from it

No it dreams.

how do you know this, exactly?

....and how can it dream if it has no memory and is separate from the brain?

[phenom]

the brain is more like a massive zhitty raid array, if one part is lost most of the data could be recovered from elsewhere.

but good point keeper, i guess we don't realise what we have, and i don't think that we would when we lose it either, extremely sad how little we care

Supposedly, who you are, what your morals are, your memories and everything about you is supposed to be contained in your "soul".

So what happens if you were in a car accident and lost 50% of your normal brain function....memories...skills... everything you know and who you are are removed by 50%.
Or what happens when grandma gets old and forgets who you are?


My point is - if your "soul" is dependent on your brain function..... is it really there in the first place?

Oh dear...not the best OP I have read.
Continue.

People my response was tongue-in-cheek. If there was such a smiley I would have used it.

The soul is more like a non permanent dynamic dna on the energy contained in your body.
